Bees are arguably the single-most important pollinator to agriculture, although the honeybee stock has decreased by almost 50% in the last decade. Most of the commercially operated beehives are placed in remote areas, where theft of those beehives is a huge issue for beekeepers. This thesis examines the optimal conditions a beehive needs to survive and to produce honey, as well as how to measure those conditions and how to keep track of a beehive. Therefore, a prototype device was built to be placed inside the beehive to measure temperature, humidity, weight, and the GPS position. A battery system was developed to keep the device powered for up to six months. To be able to monitor those devices remotely a mobile connection to a cloud server was established. This cloud server provides a graphical user interface for easy access to the uploaded data of the beehive, and raises alarms if theft is detected.
